Long configuration Full length of 181cm from goniometer to sensor allowing for measurement of light sources up-to 220mm in diameter. Short configuration Reduced length of 114 cm from goniometer to sensor allowing for measurement of light sources up-to 135mm in diameter. This configuration can be useful when measuring low power and smaller light sources where a shorter distance will increase the sensitivity of the sensor. 8 LightSpion user guide LightSpion alignment The Extender base plate comes with alignment points and a visual outline for the LightSpion ensuring that the LightSpion is fixed at the right location for accurate measurements.
